Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production and application of lithographic printing plates. More specifically the invention is related to a lithographic plate on which ink receptive images may be formed by a process involving an image-wise thermal development process.
- Lithography is a process in which printing takes place from a plate with specially prepared surfaces, some areas of which are capable of accepting lithographic ink, whereas other areas, when moistened with water, are incapable of accepting the ink.
- the areas of the medium being printed which accept ink from those plate areas which have accepted ink, form the printing image areas, while those in contact with those plate areas unable to accept ink, form the background areas.
- areas of the lithographic plate capable of accepting the ink will be referred to as hydrophobic and those incapable, after prewetting with water, of accepting this ink will be referred to as hydrophilic.
- Image-wise treatment, or image-wise treatment corresponding to the negative of the image, for the production of lithographic printing plates can be carried out using actinic radiation, ionized radiation or heat, or a combination thereof in combination with appropriate processing of the plates.
- thermographic or photothermographic materials in the production of lithographic printing plates opens the possibility of using dry development techniques, which have the advantage, over conventional processes requiring development with externally applied (wet) developers, of being entirely dry processes developable without additional ingredients.
- Thermal imaging or thermographic processes utilizing the reduction of substantially light-insensitive organic heavy metal salts by organic reducing agents to heavy metal particles upon the application of heat, are entirely dry processes developable without additional ingredients. Furthermore, such systems can be rendered photosensitive by the incorporation of a photosensitive agent capable after exposure of catalyzing the thermal reduction of the organic heavy metal salts by the reducing agents.
- a process for forming an image is described in US-P 4,210,711, comprising the image-wise exposure of a photosensitive image-forming material composed of a support and a layer of a thermoplastic photosensitive composition which is not adhesive at ordinary temperatures, heating the exposed photo-sensitive material in intimate contact with a peeling development carrier sheet at least one surface of which is composed of a thermoplastic material not adhesive at ordinary temperature to a temperature above the softening temperature of at least one of the photo-sensitive composition layer and the peeling development carrier-sheet from the photo-sensitive image-forming material at about or below the heating temperature thereby to form the exposed or unexposed area of the photo-sensitive composition layer on the peeling development sheet, and the corresponding unexposed or exposed area on the support, respectively as a separate image wherein the photo-sensitive composition contains a photosensitive polyhalogen compound, a photosensitive quinone, a photosensitive polymer, a silver halide or an organic silver salt.
- thermographic lithographic printing plate is described in US-P 3,685,993 with a composition comprising a complex of a heat fusible phenolic resin and a high molecular weight water-soluble poly-ether, -amine or -amide polymer, and an organic silver salt oxidizing agent for the resin, the composition undergoing a visible change upon heating to form ink-receptive image areas.
- US-A 3,679,414 discloses a lithographic plate having a thin oleophilic ink-receptive layer on a hydrophilic substrate, said oleophilic layer being readily removable by washing with a solvent mixture of organic solvent from the group consisting of water-miscible alcohols and ketones and water, said layer containing as an essential ingredient an oxidizable, low molecular weight poly(monohydroxyphenyl) aromatic organic compound soluble in water-miscible alcohols and ketones and having a hydrogen or methyl radical in ortho or para position to the hydroxyl radical and which on oxidation does not form a stable quinoid structure, together with a lesser amount by weight of a chemically inert film-forming binder, said coating, when briefly heated with a quantity of water-insoluble silver soap just sufficient to oxidize all of said compound and in the presence of phthalazinone as a catalyst for such oxidation reaction, being rendered resistant to attack by said solvent mixture.
- thermographic processes for the production of lithographic plates are insufficient to yield high quality prints.
- lithographic plates have sub-optimal printing properties e.g. insufficient ink-acceptance in the hydrophobic areas of the lithographic plate, low printing endurance etc.
- thermographic material capable of being used to produce a lithographic printing plate with improved discrimination in ink-receptive behaviour between image and non-image areas of the lithographic printing plate.
- thermographic material capable of being used to produce a lithographic printing plate with improved printing endurance.
- thermographic material comprising a support, a hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and a hydrophilic surface adjoining the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer, the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer containing an ingredient A which upon heating reacts with at least one other ingredient B, in thermal working relationship with the ingredient A, producing a moiety which changes the adhesion between the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and the adjoining hydrophilic surface, for the production of lithographic printing plates, wherein the heating does not reduce the solubility of any thermally produced image-defining areas in a solvent or solvent mixture used in the coating of the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer or in a solvent mixture of organic solvent from the group consisting of water-miscible alcohols and ketones and water.
- thermographic material capable of being used to produce a lithographic printing plate, comprising a support, a hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and a hydrophilic surface adjoining the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer, the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer containing an ingredient A which upon heating reacts with at least one other ingredient B, in thermal working relationship with the ingredient A, producing a moiety which changes the adhesion between the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and the adjoining hydrophilic surface and wherein the hydrophilic surface is the surface of a hydrophilic layer which is the outermost layer.
- the image-wise thermal development step includes image-wise heating for example with a thermal head or with a laser in heat mode.
- the image-wise thermal development step consists of image-wise exposure with a source of actinic radiation followed by overall heating of the photothermographic materials.
- Separation of those parts of the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer with reduced adhesion to the adjoining hydrophilic surface of those parts of the hydrophilic layer with reduced adhesion to the adjoining hydrophobic thermosensitive layer can be achieved by all techniques known to people skilled in the art, which do not adversely affect the quality of the lithographic printing plate thereby obtained e.g. cold lamination followed by stripping (such as with adhesive tape), brushing, wiping with a non-aggressive liquid such as 2-propanol, hot lamination followed by stripping etc.
- thermographic material is also provided, according to the present invention, wherein the ingredient A is a substantially light insensitive organic silver salt and the ingredient B in thermal working relationship with the ingredient A is a reducing agent capable upon heating of reducing the substantially light insensitive organic salt to produce a hydrophobic moiety which reduces the adhesion between the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and the adjoining hydrophilic surface.
- thermographic material is further provided, according to the present invention, wherein a photosensitive agent is present in the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer which after exposure is capable of catalyzing the reaction between the ingredient A and the ingredient B to produce the moiety which changes the adhesion between the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and the adjoining hydrophilic surface.
- the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer is coated on a hydrophilic surface.
- the hydrophilic surface may be the surface of a hydrophilic layer or may be the surface of the support.
- the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer is the outermost layer.
- it will be coated on a hydrophilic surface and image-wise thermal development will produce a change in adhesion between the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and this hydrophilic surface.
- the parts of the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer removed will correspond to the thermally imaged parts or to the non-thermally imaged parts depending on whether thermal imaging results in a reduction or an increase in the adhesion of the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer to the adjoining hydrophilic surface.
- the hydrophilic layer is the outermost layer providing an adjoining hydrophilic surface for the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer.
- image-wise thermal development will produce a change in adhesion between the surface of the hydrophilic layer adjoining the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer and the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer itself.
- the parts of the hydrophilic layer removed will correspond to the thermally imaged parts or the non-thermally imaged parts depending on whether thermal imaging results in a reduction or an increase in the adhesion of the the hydrophilic surface of the hydrophilic layer adjoining the hydrophobic layer and the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer.
- the hydrophobic thermosensitive layer may be coated on a hydrophilic surface provided that no delamination of the thermosensitive layer from this hydrophilic surface takes places during the image-wise thermal development process.
- the thermosensitive layer may consist of one or more elements, the one or more elements comprising binder layers containing at least one of the ingredient A, the ingredient B, the photosensitive agent, a spectrally sensitizing dye, an acutance dye, or other ingredient active in the image-wise thermal development process with the proviso that ingredients involved in the reaction of ingredient A with ingredient B to produce upon thermal development the moiety which strongly changes the adhesion between the thermosensitive layer and an adjoining hydrophilic surface are in thermal working relationship with one another.

- Thermal processing was carried out for 15s with the uncoated side of the photothermographic material in contact with an aluminium drum heated to a temperature of 115°C.
- the optical density variation of the resulting wedge images was evaluated in reflection with a MACBETHTM RD918-SB densitometer with a visual filter. D max - and D min -values of 1.78 and 0.63 respectively were thereby measured.
- the thereby exposed and thermally processed photothermographic material was delaminated by manually applying a piece of TESAPACKTM 4122, an adhesive tape supplied by BEIERSDORF, with pressure to the coated of the photothermographic material and then stripping off the tape at a speed of 6cm s -1 and an angle of 180°, whereupon the exposed areas of the photothermographic coating were stripped from the aluminium plate leaving the unexposed areas of the photothermographic coating unstripped thereby producing a lithographic printing plate.
